Hundreds may turn out in South Texas this weekend to push back against construction of President Trump’s proposed border wall.

Two demonstrations against the wall’s construction are planned in Hidalgo County near the Rio Grande, where residents and activists say the potential path of a wall would impact local landmarks and natural areas, including a wildlife refuge that includes among its inhabitants the endangered ocelot.

Critics are concerned about federal maps that show possible locations of a border wall constructed on existing levees.

Hundreds of torch-bearing white nationalists marched on the campus of the University of Virginia ahead of Saturday's Unite the Right rally.

Police ultimately declared the Friday night march an unlawful assembly, as marchers who chanted "white lives matter," "you will not replace us" and "blood and soil," swung their torches in skirmishes with counterprotesters, the Daily Progress reported.

The parent company of Applebee's and IHOP plans to close up to 160 restaurants, vastly boosting the number of eateries from the two comfort-food chains that it plans to shutter.

Some 105 to 135 Applebee's restaurants will close, up from the 40 to 60 that parent DineEquity said would close in the first quarter. Also on the chopping block are an estimated 20 to 25 IHOP sites, up from about 18.

President Donald Trump on Friday again delivered a bold warning to North Korea, tweeting that the U.S. military is "locked and loaded" if the isolated rogue nation acts "unwisely," escalating an exchange of threats between the nuclear-armed nations.

American and South Korean officials said they would move forward with large-scale military exercises later this month that North Korea claims are a rehearsal for war. Pyongyang has laid out plans to strike near the U.S. territory of Guam.

These are the sorts of threats that Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy, a 30-year-old African American, says he has received in recent weeks from far-right activists before "Unite the Right", which is expected to be one of the largest white supremacist rallies in the US' recent history.

"I've been told I'm going to be hung from a tree, that I'm going to be shot, that I'm going to be beat up," he tells Al Jazeera. "You name it, every kind of n-word - I've been called it online."

Musician Glen Campbell, who cemented his place as a legend in the country music realm with hits like "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Gentle on My Mind," has died following a years-long battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was 81.
